Discuss the impact of the Alliance activities and products during the
reporting period.

The Alliance between the U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health
Administration Region V and the American Physical Therapy Association had very
little activity during the second year. Volunteer efforts by the APTA members
were difficult to sustain due to "other commitments." The Michigan and Illinois
OSHA Consultation tried to muster interest from the physical therapy contacts,
but without success. The Ohio PTA tried to muster interest within the state and
sought assistance from the National APTA, but without success.

Using the table below, list each activity and the number of individuals
reached or trained during the reporting period.
